I'm not sure how I should do this. After the ceremony I was planning on going in and signing the marriage licence, but then I was thinking about the processional line, or what ever you call it. That means that after the parents and us walk out we are lining up to shake guests hands and all of those little things that come with it. So that means after that we would have to go in and sign the marriage license.
Everything is at one location. We are getting married outside and the reception is in the dance hall barn. I have already decided that we are taking all of our pictures before the ceremony for time reasons. So when we are signing the marriage licence and having a few minutes to ourselves do we have to offer a full spread of appetizers? I'm planning on have the guests being offered a glass of punch of water when they come in and then I was thinking about putting nuts on the table, but I'm worried about a nut allergy. I'm sure that my guests don't have one, but I really don't want to risk it.
In all honesty, it is just going to be a few minutes, and then we will start the reception. We will come in, say the prayer, and then start going through the buffet line.
Another thing is should I put the menu in the wedding program, because I also want to put almost like a schedule in a way. I want to state what is being served, that they can help themselves to all the beverages at any time and enjoy the cookie and candy buffet.
So do I offer munchies right before we eat and do I put a menu/schedule in the wedding programs?
